MO From AU the Year Remind I'm ,a,,bricklayer,. I arti ; : ,and, what's more, down ill the country, where people ain't so particular about Ireepingtrades distinct as they are, in -the great towns. this may be seen any day in -a general shop, where, as one may say, you can get anything, from half a quarter of but ter up to a horn- lantern ; and down again:to a hundred of short cut beetle— well, down in the country;' I've done a bit of a job now and then as a mason ; and notan badly neither, I should sup pose, for I got pretty =well paid consid ering;-and I - didn't.belir more than the ueuaj dmount of growl n' crier -it was done—which is skiing a deal. - 011ie ain't the most agreeable of lives, and if it warn't , for recollecting a little about the dignity 1:11 labor, and inch tike, one would often. grumble ` more than one does. ' _ Some time ago, it don't matter Layout, ndr me, nor yet , anybody else; just When it was. work was precious Slack down our way.J=-all things considered,. I ain't a going , to toll youmhere our way is. A day's work a week had been all I'd*beeti able to get for quite, two months ; : so Mary, that's my wife; need to pinch and and screw and keep. On squeezing shilling arter shilling out of the long stocking, till at last it got so ,light, that one morning...she lets it , npbo tkelable, where, insteai:t of con! ) iog dovin with a good heartYspang, it fell softly and jest like a piece of cotton, that Was empty. "And` then, poor she hangs on to my neck, and buistout e:eryini that Offal', thatM I' blest if I, didn't want my nose blowing every quay . ter"Of a minute. I hadn t minded the screwing "and pinching; iaot a bit of.it. First week ee went without our putt dings. Well that Wasn't muc,b. Sec ond Week we stopped:My half-pints o' beer. Third week I put my pipe out. litili-yltep' On' saying that tilings must look up soot', end _Oak I should have an ounce pf the best to make up for it. But things didn't look up ; and in.spite ;of all.the screwing .we got down to the bottbm oPtbe stocking, as I said -jest,- l i hadn'tmuch cared for the pinching, but it was my poor lass as got pinched the,,most, aud she was a-gotticg paler and : ,thinner every day, till I couldn't beakto.Aae,it. . I run out o' the house,- and down..to Jeukin's yard, where I'd been at work last. I soon found •Jenk- Ina, and I says to him•-•-• • "Governor," I saysf; "this won't do, you know ; a man can't live upon wind.' " I'rue for you, Bill Stock," be says. . 4 :l,nd a man can't keep his wife upon windy I says. :" Right - you are; Bill," he says; and he'tvent on and spoke as fair its 'a man could speak . ;• and said he hadn't 'a job he'ooald'put'iue on; or he' would have done it _in Minute.. " I'm worry sorry; lie say,"" but if tans don't mend I tell you what I am a-going - to db: " •W hat's that ?" I says. to London," he says, "and if I thts , a youog man like Yon, I Wouldn't step`starving down here, when 'they're giving first-class wages up there, and . ,when there's building going on all round as thidlt as thick, andorgood bigjobe too;; hotels ,and railways, and bridges, and all sorts." I faces •round .sharp and walks off home. for when a felier:s _hungry and close op, it lays hold , on his temper. as well as his stummick more especially when „there's ,somebody beionging-, to him' in the same fix. So ,I walks off A Thrilling Story. In Jeopardy, 111 - the " sorlar o' the big stone,sews ; and there wee_ he men a running upAnd down the ladderP, and the.gangers orderS, and all seemed,so that 1 kepn to get warm And I keeps on smoking till it seemed as though I was one o' a great crowd o' men stand ing round , a lit"t'le square ' wooden office place, and being callpd one at a time ; and 'there I could see them a-taking their six•and-thirty anti two pounds a-piece, as fast,as a clerk could boo& it. And then all at once it seem ed to fade away like a fog . in the gnu ; and I kep' on _drawing;.but nothing come, .and I foundas my pipe was out, and there . walnething left to light.agen. SO I knoeks the ashes out—what there was on 'em—and then I breaks the pipe, bit by bit, and puts all. the pieces in mly Tocket—riglit-hand trousers pocket. " What for ?" says you. Nothin' at all, as I knows on ;.bot that Whit I did.; aed.l am a telling,you what happened. Perhaps it was be cause I felt upcomfortable with nothing to rattle in my pocket. Elowsorriever, my mind was made,ng • and brightening up,'Ond looking as cheerful as if I'd six and-thirty shilliags to take on Saturday, I_ says to her as, was by my side— , " Polly, my lass, I'm a going up . to London." "tioitig . where ?" sho says, liftiog,up her. head. "London," I says ; and then I began to think what going ,to London meant, For, mind yer, it didn't mean a.chap in, a rough ja.cket maising.np a..boodle in a, clean blue handkercher, and, then sliov : in' his stick through the knot, and utak-, log it over,his shoulder, anti taking. ; the; h . road uppards, w !at, ICI li ke a blackbird. Ne;" it meant something else ; It meant; breaking up a tidy, little home as two young folks—comthou, people in course —had been a .saving . for years •to Make - snug, it meant half : breaking .a prior simple lass's heart to part with this little thing and that little...thing p tearing up the nest that took so long a building, and was alias so, snug, arter.a eold day's work. I looked at 'the clean little winders, aud then at the liright kettle on Ittie shiny black hob, and: then at the worry small fire as there was, aud: then rust at one thing, and then at another, all so clean and neat and barne:. ly, and. all showing how „proud •my lass was of 'ern all, and then I thought:4l . lß, tie more of what, going up to London really did mean, and I.suppose it must have been through feeling low and faint and poorly, , and ,I'm almost ashamed to tell it, for. I'm such a big strong chap : but truth's truth: -Well, sonsehoW ti blind seemed to looms over my eyes, and my head went down upon my knees, and I eried like,a schoolboy: - But it went offilatial we set to talking. over -the, arrangements ; and two. days arter, Molly And I was.in Et lodging-• in' London. . gex' Morning I was up at •five, and, made myself smart not,6ne, bot,,cleao, and looking us if I svarnl4fraid , of work. I I finds my ,way to one o'-.the big, work—, shops, where the belLwas a ringing:for sixu'elock„and,the men was,a .senffling in.. There -was4i couple more chaps like me . standing at the gate, come ,to see if they could get took on-; and one of 'em slips comes,out again directly .a . swearing and.growling:like anything, and , then Vother, goes in, and ha comes oat a swearing too, and then I feels my 'heart go oinking down ever so low. So I suys to the fast— "Any chance of a job ?'' "90 to—" sown where, he saymiontting np rough ;so I asks t'other. °Re—' • "Any.chsq.ce of .;a job •: ' • I " Not ik-ba'portb,"• he says, turning his back, and going, or with the fuss one.; and I must say they looked sprat tF pab. of blacks. • - • - • So I stood there• quite 'five ilnitiutes . Wondering _what to do Orhether go in wod ask for myself, or 'go and try- , somewheres else. -I didn't- like to .try: ayter, seeing two .men - refused: :; All at once a tall, sharp-eyed man comesi 4 out of aside placeand _lonks,at , Vite fierce. .
